The invitation said “light hors d’oeuvres will be served.” Unfortunately we ate a sizeable dinner right before we came and were unable to partake of most of the 10 or 12 desserts (including a cranberry party mix I brought which was pretty much lost in all the decadence) and hardly any of the astonishing array of appetizers, cheese, dips, etc. Oh, well. We always enjoy a good chat with our church friends, and we met a new friend – the host’s Devon Rex<\/a> cat, a breed perfect for allergic cat lovers. I’m allergic, and both BN and I love cats so this was an interesting idea to us – a cat that doesn’t have the typical allergens. (They have very short, dry fur.) Maybe there’s hope for us getting a cat someday after all – we’d have to save our pennies since these unusual kitties are quite spendy. The P’s have 3 and Opal, the little gray one, was very social and went around to each lap that was open in the living room, including mine and I enjoyed petting her without sneezing! But, once she found BN, she knew she’d come across one of her own. Recognizing a true cat-whisperer, she snuggled right up onto his shoulder and took a snooze for the rest of the evening. We had to wake her up to leave. So cute! But the Devons are kind of unusual-looking. Something between a sphinx and Yoda… I thought Opal looked a little bit like a gargoyle. But in a friendly way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
